So I get my eagerly awaited Amazon order today, and I’m pawing through the luscious pile of books (yeah, I’m odd-bear with me) when I notice that I have two copies of one book.

Odd.

I have two copies of “Finding Serenity”-it’s a book of essays about Joss Wheadon’s Firefly series, which I love. I figure what happened was that when the second volume went out of stock, I mucked something up and gave myself two copies of this thus far fun to read book.

Now, I’m a lazy girl. Just as the person still waiting for yarn (which I am going to mail out tomorrow I SWEAR, assuming I can still find your address.) Or the person waiting for the baby blanket for a kid almost a year old (I am nearly done-starting on the border this week!) I cannot be bothered to send this back to Amazon for a credit. That’s effort.

What I am willing to do if offer it to someone who wants it, and can follow simple instructions:

I’ll draw a name in a week’s time, on the day I get my next tattoo, March 17. All you need to do is leave me a comment on this post. Extra entry if you tell me why you love Firefly, or if you link to this post from your site as well.

Oh my, I would so love this. I adore Firefly/Serenity. I love that Kaylie comes off like an innocent and yet is in charge of her own sexuality. I love that Mal acts the hard man but is a gentleman with a soft heart. I love that Jayne names a gun Vera! I love that it’s about people who live in space and fly around on a spaceship!

Oh Firefly. What do I love about it? Two words. Captain Hot Pants. Okay three words. And I love Jayne. I knitted three Jayne hats for a Sci-Fi convention one year. And Adam was there. And I have pictures of him and ME. Together!

Okay, that has nothing to do with Firefly really.

I love that it’s not at all modern, but more like western. Western Sci-Fi.

Really, I could go on and on.

Hannah, I agree! I can’t believe they killed Wash AND Shepherd! Dashing all hopes of a sequel or further series. *sigh*

Yes, Thordora, shame on you. You should spend your money on better things. Like, I don’t know, whatever EJ thinks is an appropriate way to spend money. God forbid you should take a small part of your severance and do something just for yourself that makes you happy. WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?!!

I was late to the Serenity Party. Fire Fly aired while I was in uni so my TV watching was sparse. We watched the movie and loved it. We have the DVD series but have yet to watch it. Hey, we had BSG for almost a year before we started to watch!

I had no clue Joss Whedon had his hand in it, or I would have watched it sooner.

I’m hoping to find Dollhouse on the TV and get that on PVR so I can watch it. If I can get all EPIs the better. And Castle is another Joss that I have to start to record. *sigh*

I think it would be a cool read. Plus, postage isn’t that much!

HA!

I see the trolls are still lurking. Course, if they KNEW you, then maybe the dork would know that you already have another job lined up for the end of the month eh?

I gotta be frank here. I wanted to love Firefly more than I did. I was such a Buffy-head and somehow Firefly just didn’t grab me in the way I wanted it to. I think if I had seen it before Buffy I would have loved it but it just couldn’t match the smarts and complexity of the former. I also thought Whedon was trying to do smart feminist stuff with the Courtesan character but he never quite realized his vision. I haven’t seen the movie, though, so maybe I am missing something.

I am starting to warm to The Dollhouse but am wearying of the “hot chicks take down patriarchy” Whedonesque trope. Or not. Maybe the hot chicks just get saved by Helo.

I guess this is why I need the book ’cause clearly I need to be enlightened.

Also, I’ve heard that you can serve wiener dogs on buns to starving children.

I came around to Buffy a little late. I mean after I saw the movie, I couldn’t imagine a series could be all that.

Eliza Duschu…I liked her when she was on Buffy. But I haven’t seen Dollhouse. I miss my DVR. 😦 Also, I miss watching Summer Glau on Terminator Chronicles, or whatever its called. Summer is one hot awesome robot.

I liked the blue chick with the boobies… no, wait, that was Farscape. Firefly was cool… not nearly enough blue boobs*, but I liked the wild west in space setting. Even without the blue breasts Firefly has always been in my top-five TV programs.

Castles the one where’s he’s a writer with the NYPD right? I think it was on Monday night at 10. Same station as Dancing with the Stars (don’t ask how I know please). It looked good, I wanted to watch it, but I was sooo tired.

Yeah Thor, maybe you should think about THAT $60 while you’re being so unselfish and putting your children’s health, clothing and food needs before yours and shit. Fuck I hate you mothers who care for their children so well, what with your “bedtime stories” and making sure your kids are “educated” and “kind to their elders” and making sure there’s always “healthy food on the table” and a “loving environment” for them to “be safe in”. Jesus Christ, I don’t pay my fucking taxes so loving and engaged parents like you can go out and take their fucking well-behaved children to museums where all they do is learn about “stuff” all day.

Start your job sooner, Thor, or I’ll call someone and tell them what a great fucking example you’ve been for the rest of us.
